Making the Most of Your CSA Share
CSA season is around the corner and I am very excited to start receiving a share again. We have a month (plus or minus) until asparagus comes on!! I would ideally love to grow everything we eat ourselves, but we just don’t have enough space. And our CSA grows such beautiful, delicious food, I can’t [...]

The Homestead Resolutions for 2012
I hope you all have enjoyed the holidays so far. Our family has agreed that this was ones of the best Christmases we’ve had in a long time. Health-wise, we are in a holding pattern and I’ll keep the blog updated if anything changes on that front. In the mean time… The other night, my [...]
A Season for Family
I’ve realized from about October to February, is our season of family. Hunting alone facilitates a great portion of this, and then the holidays manage to cement the rest. We just don’t have time to spend with many friends, as much as we’d like to. Family really takes priority. During the harvest season, I think [...]
reCAP Mason Jar Caps
Sorry for the lack of posts this week and only minimal last week. We’ve been ridiculously busy between hunting and Henry’s birthday and such. I’ve got a couple of posts in the works that should hopefully be up soon. But in the mean time, I had to share this. Thanks to Erica for pointing me [...]
Occupy Denver
Saturday night I went down to the capital building to the Occupy Denver protest. Denver is one of over 1500 cities showing solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York. Saturday afternoon there was a march on the state capital. 4000-5000 people joined together to march down 16th street. I couldn’t get down [...]
Jam Fever!
Last weekend, we went to Palisade for our annual trip to Bracken Orchard to pick peaches. We drive 240 miles over the mountains, each way, so we want to make sure we make the trip worth it. This year, we came home with 368 pounds of peaches (slightly less, since about half a box was [...]
Berry Picking
This weekend we got to go to a local U-pick berry farm. Raspberries and strawberries and a good time was had by all. We were so happy that this was suggested by our new friend, Kristen, and her daughter, Ciara. Bonus – they live in our neighborhood. Also, as you can see, we got a [...]
Howdy!
3 kids, 8 chickens, bees and a garden on my urban 1/8 acre. Striving to find the simple life - the easy way. I spend my free time blogging and getting dirt under my nails along side my hard-working husband. Yay for modern housewifery, urban livestock and front yard gardens!
